General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function both thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and indolethylamine N-methyltransferase (INMT) cooperatively contributed to the trimethylselenonium ion production, enabling urinary excretion of Se and maintenance of homeostasis of this essential yet highly toxic trace element. Thus, TPMT and INMT can be recognized as selenium methyltransferases Homo sapiens
